Anymore so than than all blacks are rapists and all women are whores? You sir are not a libertarian. It is no wonder Libertarians come across as airheads and as kooks who could care less about personal responsibility. That kind of negativity is bound to chase off perfectly good libertarians who happen to be Christian.

Such an ad homien attack is nothing less than an exercise in intellectual dishonesty.

I don't know if you truly mean what you said, but rather you let your emotions get in the way of seeing the situation objectively. We can't win over Christians if we're seen blaming them for all the world's ills or that all of them are hypocrites nor will being disrepectful of their sacred writings and beliefs encourage them to respect the libertarian beliefs of Liberty and self-government.

Respect is a two-way street. I'm sure you realize that doesn't mean you have to embrace Christian beliefs anymore than they have to embrace libertarian beliefs, but no meaningful dialogue can come out of cursing each other.
